Industrial Park Welcome the “Wave” of Investment from TPP

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) between the 12 members, including Vietnam, has recently concluded negotiations after more than 5 years of hard working.
Before that, many enterprises with foreign direct investment (FDI) have come to establish factories and business in Vietnam to prepare for the economic benefits that TPP brings.
According to Long An Economic Zone Authority (LAEZA), up to September 30th, they have received 122 investment projects, increase by 14.02% compared to the same period in 2014.
In which there are 67 FDI projects with a total investment of over 395 million USD, increase by 2.37% over the same period in 2014. Enterprises mostly invest in such areas as apparel, footwear, textile, plastic… and factories located mainly in the industrial zone in Ben Luc, Duc Hoa, Can Giuoc.
Tan Tao Group (ITA), the investor of Tan Duc Industrial Park said that in September, Long An Provincial People’s Committee, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment have approved Trillions Corporation (USA) to invest in Tan Duc industrial park phase 2 in Duc Hoa.
This project is a 30 hectares complex with an expected investment of 120 million USD, which is invested by the Trillions Group and their partners  like Cosmo, CHA Technologies, Starensier US, Mountian Star, Billion TW… to provide products for Adidas and Nike, as well as catching up with the opportunities from TPP in the future.
The business opportunities after Vietnam signed the free trade agreement (FTA) and the outlook from TPP has attracted waves of FDI as well as the shift of investment projects from China to Vietnam.
Earlier, in August, Long An Provincial People’s Committee has granted investment certificate for the spinning factory of Huafu Group (Hong Kong) with an area of 35 ha and a total investment of over 300 million USD.
The project has a planned capacity of pulling 30,000 tons mill per year, estimating to contribute more than 3,000 jobs for local workers.
Huafu is one of the largest economic conglomerate specialized in spinning with experience of more than 20 years of development in Hong Kong. Moreover, they are the world’s largest supplier of high-end color yarn for the textile industry of more 60 countries and regions, such as Europe, America, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.
Regarding FDI in the past 9 months, total FDI in industrial parks, economic zones throughout the country reached more than 8.7 billion USD, increase by 12% over the same period.
A recent study from Standard Chartered Bank showed that there is a shift of investment capital from China to ASEAN countries to take advantage of opportunities.
Approximately 44% of units involved in the study chose Vietnam because of large domestic market, 29% choose because of lower operating costs and 18% choose because of abundant labor.
As for the garment industry, when the TPP takes effect, this is the advantaged industry therefore large foreign companies have landed in Vietnam in recent years.
To welcome new waves of investment, many localities like Ho Chi Minh City and Long An have adjusted the investment policy or extended the area of the industrial park.

Passing Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam Leads the Region in The PMI Index









Passing Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam Leads the Region in The PMI Index


Japan-Vietnam economic cooperation will form a new value chain

In terms of PMI index, Vietnam has passed Thailand and Singapore. In shows that Vietnam business environment has been strongly improved.
Vietnam’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) has risen from 51.8 in August to 53.3 in September. Nikkei evaluated that the business conditions of the month had a strong improvement, achieving the best speed since April. Accordingly, the health of this field is positive during the past 22 months.
Ranking the countries according to the PMI index of the month, Vietnam continued to lead the overall growth list with the PMI index rising to a high in September. The Philippines advanced to the second position with 50.8 points, although overall growth is still light.
Indonesia with 50.4 points indicates that business conditions continue to be improved while Thailand has rebounded to 50.3 points after a decline in the previous two months. After the improvement last month, Malaysia (49.9 points) recorded almost unchanged production conditions in September. Meanwhile Singapore (48.6 points) fell into the decline. Myanmar (49.4 points) continue to have weak business conditions, although the speed of decline is light.
Analyzing the reasons for growth in Vietnam, according to the Nikkei, customer demand increased and new orders increase as a result. This is the most significant increase in 5 months. Order growth rate also improved sharply in September.
Thanks for that, inventories also fell for the third month in a row, the biggest drop since July.
Production output of Vietnam has also increased in 11 consecutive months. All three areas of the market have increased production, led by companies producing consumer goods.
In terms of input costs, Nikkei noted that due to rising raw material prices, including raw materials from China, input costs rise significantly, the strongest since May 2011. Therefore, in September 2017, for the first time in 5 months, companies must increase output prices.
According to Mr Andrew Harker from IHS Markit, the company that collected the survey results evaluated that the third quarter ended with a positive note for Vietnamese producers. As a result, manufacturers may continue to grow in the last quarter. Nevertheless, he noted that Vietnam should be cautious as inflationary pressures reappeared.
